Thesis Statements
Thesis Statements
Your Observation
Your Opinion
The Significance
- Determine Your Topic
What’s the general category of your essay? (For this example we will use Writing Thesis Statements.)
- State an Observation
What do you know about your topic? (This Example:Developing a thesis statement is difficult for most students.)
- State Your Opinion
What is the one thing about your topic that you believe is true? If you don’t know, take the time to map out your topic. (This Example: A strong thesis statement is integral to writing an intelligent essay.)
- Give the Significance
Why do you think your opinion is correct? What is the good to be gained by your position? (This Example: A thesis statement provides focus and cohesion to the entire essay.)
- Put Them Together
Observation + Significance + Opinion = Thesis (not always in this order)(This Example: Developing a thesis statement is difficult for most students, but because a thesis statement provides focus and cohesion to the entire essay, a strong thesis statement is integral to writing an intelligent essay.)
Additional: Think of a Qualification
Is there a valid argument against your position? Some questions that might help: A. Is what you say always true? B. Are there exceptions? C. Are there good reasons your position will have a downside? D. What reasons would your position have any problems, and can you admit them up front? (This Example: Some students find writing thesis statements easy…)
If you are using a qualification, it will usually come first in the thesis statement. (This Example: Even though some students find writing thesis statements easy, developing a thesis statement is difficult for most students, but because a thesis statement provides focus and cohesion to the entire essay, a strong thesis statement is integral to writing an intelligent essay.)
